Two suspects charged in connection to murder of young mother in Newmarket, Ont.
Two men have been charged in connection to the homicide investigation of a young mother in Newmarket, Ont., earlier this summer.
Officers found 22-year-old Nicole Mercer suffering from a gunshot wound at a home on Prospect Street in the early morning hours of July 29.
She was transported to a hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
